This book started off in a ridiculous, fun, Dear Penthouse letter kind of way. You get pretty much what the book description suggests. After the first few chapters it shifts into a more traditional Romance novel, which is fine, but it's a bit hard to take seriously after the outrageous beginning.
Its a quick read, it's fun, it's unremarkable.

I have long loved this series but I wasn’t sure I would like this one as I find young, virginal heroines to be uninteresting. However, Charlotte quickly shakes off that mantle and engages in some fun sexy times with Kingston, the stepbrother of her sister’s new husband (from the previous book in the series). She believes her behavior to result from a tonic her sister gives her but she soon can’t resist him despite herself and she and Kingston come together many times despite her betrothal to a boring local man. I really enjoyed this book and read it in just a few hours. I can’t wait for Nora’s book!
